Class InvisibleAction

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Action, ModelObject
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    InterruptedBuildAction, WebSocketAgents, WebSocketEcho
    public abstract class InvisibleAction
extends Object
implements Action
    Partial Action implementation that doesn't have any UI presence (unless the getUrlName() is overrided).

    This class can be used as a convenient base class, when you use Action for just storing data associated with a build.

    It could also be used to reduce the amount of code required to just create an accessible url for tests by overriding the getUrlName() method.

      • getIconFileName

        public final String getIconFileName()
        Description copied from interface: Action
        Gets the name of the icon.
        Specified by:
        getIconFileName in interface Action
        Returns:
        If the icon name is prefixed with "symbol-", a Jenkins Symbol will be used.

        If just a file name (like "abc.gif") is returned, it will be interpreted as a file name inside /images/24x24. This is useful for using one of the stock images.

        If an absolute file name that starts from '/' is returned (like "/plugin/foo/abc.gif"), then it will be interpreted as a path from the context root of Jenkins. This is useful to pick up image files from a plugin.

        Finally, return null to hide it from the task list. This is normally not very useful, but this can be used for actions that only contribute floatBox.jelly and no task list item. The other case where this is useful is to avoid showing links that require a privilege when the user is anonymous.

      • getDisplayName

        public final String getDisplayName()
        Description copied from interface: Action
        Gets the string to be displayed. The convention is to capitalize the first letter of each word, such as "Test Result".
        Specified by:
        getDisplayName in interface Action
        Specified by:
        getDisplayName in interface ModelObject
        Returns:
        Can be null in case the action is hidden.

      • getUrlName

        public String getUrlName()
        Description copied from interface: Action
        Gets the URL path name.

        For example, if this method returns "xyz", and if the parent object (that this action is associated with) is bound to /foo/bar/zot, then this action object will be exposed to /foo/bar/zot/xyz.

        This method should return a string that's unique among other Actions.

        The returned string can be an absolute URL, like "http://www.sun.com/", which is useful for directly connecting to external systems.

        If the returned string starts with '/', like '/foo', then it's assumed to be relative to the context path of the Jenkins webapp.

        Specified by:
        getUrlName in interface Action
        Returns:
        null if this action object doesn't need to be bound to web (when you do that, be sure to also return null from Action.getIconFileName().
